Glad y'all seem to like it. In some countries football is more like a religion. Which sounds like a cliché but is very much the case. Once you start seeing the different tactics and how some teams move, it really takes on a new level.

It's a live chess match! Poetry in motion. Always thinking a few steps ahead, and the teamwork is incredible.

And today a final worthy match between France and Marocco! I am excited to watch it, a large amount of talented players will be on the pitch.

Quote from Purple Aura on July 9, 2026, 6:19 PMWhat I like most about it even with the stupid hydration breaks is the lack of commercials. In the U.S. a football game takes well over three hours to play with only about twelve-fifteen minutes of actual action. Here the ball is always in motion. It just has a better flow. If I didn't have Red Zone I'd fall asleep watching just one NFL game.

Quote from MaywoodAl on July 9, 2026, 7:32 PMI don't think I even know about soccer growing up. My HS did not have it. I did go a few world cup games in 1994, just because it seemed it would be a fun event. Did not follow it after that, until my kids started playing. I had no clue what was going on so I started to watch European leagues on TV.
The less than two hours to watch a game was great. I was a huge baseball fan , with football second. Started watching less and less and now it is only soccer and horse racing. I still cannot figure all the strategy and movement, but i get a better feel for it now.
At one point a long time age switched to Dish so I could get BEIN (a soccer centric channel) and I think what was Horse racing Network (which turned into TVG) Later after cutting the cord, i went with Fubo.
When kids went to college I started watching less and dumped Fubo. I have Peacock so I can get the EPL, the World Cup is spurring me to get back into soccer a bit more. With Peacock I have been watching the World Cup in Spanish.

Quote from Lonnie on July 10, 2026, 5:37 PMWe're now down to six teams. One semifinal is set. France v Spain. It should be a classic.
What's really classic is that no one has been eliminated from the contest. Yet!
